Ringer Tones

Choose one of four melodies or three tones for the handset's main ring tone. As you highlight each ring tone, the phone plays a sample of the tone. When you hear the tone you want, press Menu/select.

Personal Ring

Turn on the personal ring feature. If you have Caller ID, this feature lets you assign special ring tones to anyone in your phonebook: this handset will use the special ring tone when that person calls.
